Sherman Army Airfield (IATA: FLV, ICAO: KFLV) is an airport located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in Leavenworth County, Kansas. Although the airport is within the confines of a United States Army Base, it has agreement with the city of Leavenworth, Kansas to permit civilian use at all hours.
It derives its codes from Fort Leavenworth. It is named for American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman who spent extensive time at the Fort and helped establish the Command and General Staff College there.
The airport is at the foot of the Missouri River bluffs that make up the fort. The levee protecting it burst in both the Great Flood of 1951 and the Great Flood of 1993.
In 2002 the United States Disciplinary Barracks relocated from the middle of the fort to the northwest edge of the airport. In 2009 after it was announced that Guantanamo Bay detention camp detainees may be relocated to the Barracks, civilian leaders of the city and county of Leavenworth formally opposed the move because they fear it would mean an end to civilian use of the airport because of increased security. History
During World War II, the facility was used as a United States Army Air Forces Second Air Force training field.
